  The European Parliament adopted by 585 votes to 33, with 11 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption. Parliament adopted its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure. The amendments adopted in plenary are the result of an agreement negotiated between the European Parliament and the Council. They amend the proposal as follows: Taking into account international standards: in order to protect the interests of consumers and to enhance the free movement of fruit juices and certain similar products within the European Union, Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption has laid down specific provisions regarding production, composition and labelling of the products concerned. Those rules should be adapted to technical progress and should, as far as possible, take account of developments in relevant international standards, in particular the Codex Standard for fruit juices and nectars (Codex Stan 247-2005). The Codex Standard establishes, in particular, quality factors and labelling requirements for fruit juices and similar products. Labelling: specific provisions of Directive 2001/112/EC on the labelling of fruit juices and similar products are amended to reflect the new rules on authorised ingredients, such as those pertaining to the addition of sugars, which are no longer authorised in fruit juices. For other products, added sugars should continue to be labelled in accordance with Directive 2000/13/EC. The nutrition claim ‘with no added sugars’: this claim has been used in relation to fruit juice for a very long time. In the light of the new compositional requirements for fruit juices provided for in this Directive, its disappearance from one day to the next after the transitional period might not allow an immediate clear distinction between fruit juices and other drinks in terms of the addition of sugars in the products, which would be detrimental to the fruit juices sector. Consequently, the amended text makes provision, for a limited time, to enable the industry to inform consumers properly. The statement ‘from … ++ no fruit juices contain added sugars’ may appear on the label in the same field of vision as the name of products until four years and six months from the entry into force of the Directive ++. Transitional period: in order to allow Member States to adopt national laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive, a transposition period of 18 months should be established. During that period the requirements of Directive 2001/112/EC without the amendments introduced by this Directive should remain applicable. In order to take into account the interests of economic operators who place on the market or label their products in accordance with the requirements applicable before the application of the national provisions transposing this Directive, the amended text states that these products may continue to be marketed until three years from the date of entry into force of this Directive. Delegated acts: in order to bring the Annexes to Directive 2001/112/EC into line with developments in relevant international standards and to take into account technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending the Annexes to Directive 2001/112/EC, with the exception of Part I of Annex I, and of Annex II. A transposition period of 18 months should be established for this Directive.

  PURPOSE: to amend Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption.PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council.IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was undertaken.LEGAL BASE: Article 43 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).CONTENT: Council Directive 2001/112/EC lays down rules governing the composition, use of reserved descriptions, manufacturing specifications and labelling of the products concerned, in order to ensure their free movement within the European Union.This amendment of the directive, which amends Directive 2001/112/EC for the second time, is based on revised international standards, in particular the Codex Alimentarius for fruit juices and nectars (Codex Stan 247-2005) and the Code of Practice of the European Fruit Juice Association (AIJN).This draft directive, which is technical in nature, reaffirms the distinction between fruit juice and fruit juice from concentrate, simplifies the provisions on the restitution of flavour and aroma, provides for the removal of sugar from the list of authorised ingredients and includes tomatoes in the list of fruits used for fruit juice production.This proposed directive will take account, as of now, of the redefinition of the competences of the Commission (Articles 290/291 of the Treaty). Consequently, it will amend the current directive by including all implementing measures in the category of delegated acts.BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the proposal has no implication for the Community budget.

Those rules should be adapted to technical progress and should take account of developments in relevant international standards, in particular the Codex Standard for fruit juices and nectars (Codex Stan 247-2005) which was adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission during its 28th session on 4-9 July 2005 and the Code of Practice of the European Fruit Juice Association (AIJN). The requirements laid down in this Directive should apply equally to products manufactured in the Union and to imported products.

Title

Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Council Directive 2001/112/EC relating to fruit juices and certain similar products ~~intended for human consumption~~

Amendment 12 #

Elisabeth JEGGLE, Albert DESS

Proposal for a directive
Recital 1

(1) In order to enhance the free movement of fruit juices and certain similar products within the European Union, Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption4 has laid down specific provisions regarding production, composition and labelling of the products concerned. Those rules should be adapted to technical progress and should take account of developments in relevant international standards, in particular the Codex Standard for fruit juices and nectars (Codex Stan 247-2005) which was adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission during its 28th session on 4-9 July 2005 and the Code of Practice of the European Fruit Juice Association (AIJN). The requirements laid down in this Directive should apply equally to products manufactured in the Union and to imported products.

Amendment 13 #

Janusz WOJCIECHOWSKI

Proposal for a directive
Recital 3

(3) Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs5, and in particular Article 7(2) and (5) thereof, should apply subject to certain conditions. It should be clearly indicated when a product is a mixture of fruit juice and fruit juice from concentrate, and, for fruit nectar, when it is obtained entirely or partly from a concentrated product. The list of ingredients in the labelling should bear the names of both the fruit juices and fruit juices from concentrate used. There should be a ban on the use of misleading or ambiguous descriptions such as ‘natural juice’, which suggest that juices have been produced directly when this is not the case.

Amendment 14 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 а (new)

(3а) In order to ensure that consumers are informed about the removal, pursuant to this directive, of the words ‘with no added sugar’, fruit juice producers need to be granted a derogation, for a limited time, to use the words ‘with no added sugar in accordance with EU legislation on fruit juices’. That information should acquaint consumers with the new EU legislation, and on expiry of the temporary derogation consumers will have been informed that fruit juices marketed in the EU do not contain sugar and producers will no longer have need of that wording.

Amendment 15 #

Lorenzo FONTANA, Giancarlo SCOTTÀ

Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 a (new)

(3a) The nutritional information ‘with no added sugar’ has for a long time been used in relation to fruit juice. Its disappearance next may mislead consumers, prompting them to turn to other drinks that do feature such a statement. It would therefore be appropriate to permit the continued use of that nutritional information to enable the industry to inform consumers properly.

(1) In order to ensure that fruit juice are clearly labelled and consumers are able to distinguish between types of products and to enhance the free movement of fruit juices and certain similar products within the European Union, Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit juices and certain similar products intended for human consumption4 has laid down specific provisions regarding production, composition and labelling of the products concerned. Those rules should be adapted to technical progress and should take account, if necessary, of developments in relevant international standards, in particular the Codex Standard for fruit juices and nectars (Codex Stan 247-2005) which was adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission during its 28th session on 4-9 July 2005 and the Code of Practice of the European Fruit Juice Association (AIJN).

(2) The above Codex Standard establishes in particular quality factors and labelling requirements for fruit juices and similar products. The AIJN Code of Practice also establishes quality factors for fruit juice from concentrate and is internationally used as a reference standard for self- regulation in the fruit juice industry. Directive 2001/112/EC should be brought into line, as far as possible, with those standards.deleted
